Example: Playing a solo over a Bm7b5 chord, you would start on A and end the part on E. The harmony this would produce would be considered "hypo-phrygian". See it's more of a concept. With modern music you can do whatever, things aint as strict as in the pre-16th century. Hopefully that's alittle easier to understand. If not, don't worry about it. It's nothing big.
